Siobhan Marks Our Grandmothers Strap Dress
WINative:
Siobhan Marks of Muskego, WI has No Native American blood going back five generations, which means she is Not a descendant of Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa or Cree. She is Lithuanian, Irish, French, and German. A White European American.
So based on these lies and deception she should not be doing traditional Ojibwe teachings or leading Milwaukee Native community organizations. If she started out as a White ally she should have remained that, but instead falsified an identity that had to be traced and exposed. Her actions have not been guided by love for the Native American community, but by greed and selfishness.
This site was made for people like her who have risen to the highest levels of a Native community based on a false identity and she is a Fraud and should be identified here as such.

My Anishinaabe name is Zeegwun Noodenese and I am Migizi (Eagle) Clan. I am a descendant of Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe and of Cree descent; I am a First Degree Midewiwin of the Three Fires Midewiwin Lodge in Bad River, WI. I serve on the board for the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center and also the Spotted Eagle, Inc. board, and I volunteer my time where ever possible in our Native community. My passions include reclaiming the original dress of our grandmothers and learning the Ojibwe language. I live in Muskego with my partner Mark and our two sons.

Here is Siobhan Marks great great grandparents. Siobhan's great great grandfather is Alvah Smith and was born in New York. Now there are some discrepancies in some of the censuses. In the 1870 census it shown he was born in Ohio. This is the only time in any of the censuses that says Ohio. The rest always says New York.
In the 1860 census it shows his wife Sophia, by the 1870 census she is gone. And the 2 children's names are a little distorted and misspelled. Noria I believe was Maria and Samuel ended up as Saul. As you can see by 1870 the names are correct.
I've gone back 4 generations, we are now in the early 1800s and they're all white on the mother's fathers side. I think it's very clear Siobhan Marks is not Indian on her mother's paternal side. Tomorrow I'll start posting on the maternal side of Mary Jane Smith Kalmanson.

No Native American blood has been found for Siobhan Marks on an extensive search going back five generations on every line of her family tree. This is important, because she has been allowed access to leadership and cultural resources that any non-Indian is not.
She has become the "face" of many Native American organizations in Milwaukee, by endearing herself to the leadership and volunteering her time or becoming a workhorse for them. This has corrupted the natural order of leadership and and keeping Native Americans in charge of their own social services. This is purely a power grab by Siobhan Marks, and had worked thus far.
Exposing her is the only way to end this.

St. Kateri and American Indian Health Service Chicago co-host this All Nations Pow Wow Chicago event to remember the victims and survivors of residential schools. This event precedes the memorial for Every Child Matters and Orange Shirt Day on September 30th. Grand Entry at 1pm. MC: Mark Denning.
Guest Speaker: Siobhan Marks – Ojibwe. Apparently she fully identifies as Ojibwe only now, and is now a Indian Boarding expert along with her other expertise in Native culture, in which she has self-appointed herself.
